Why those 2 countries? Genuinely curious. Not in EU and I don't really know what's going on there.

Both are far-right autocratic governments who gladly take EUs money, while blaming everything on EU (in Polands case especially Germany). Both block tons of important political decisions. Hungary is arguably a dictatorship with no free media outlets and questionable elections, Poland steers in the same direction. The widespread racism, antisemitism and homophobia are also a given.

I honestly had no clue. Before you guys answered, I was thinking it was more about the economy. I appreciate the explanation.
